So in general, American and Korean cars show the warning light when you have about 35+ miles left in the tank, and Japanese and German cars show it when you have about 60+ miles left in the tank.

Yet the examples they show are accidents caused by overly aggressive drivers (illegal pass on the shoulder and cutting across lanes without enough space between cars???), not slow left lane drivers. While slow left lane drivers are annoying, it seems obvious what the real problem is. Slow lefties have nothing on…

Redundant title is redundant.

I don’t think you’ve been following this launch closely. This is truly unique in terms of poor availability (and the multitude of other PR issues they’ve had on the road to availability).

The launch (er... launches, since this line has essentially “launched” three times already) has been a disaster for reasons beyond availability, though that’s certainly a major component (as well as how they’ve communicated said issue).

Bugs, multiple delays, a misrepresentative demo, confusing paper launches, the…

Nope. Bidets are awesome, and it’s shameful that America is one of the few countries (along with England) that has hangups about them. We invested in one of the heated Japanese ones 6 years ago and we’re still in the honeymoon phase.

Turns out at this stage you can’t actually delete the default apps - just hide them. A couple people with the beta have demonstrated that the files remain on the phone. You can “re-download” the “removed” apps while in Airplane mode.

It’s also possible this feature isn’t fully implemented yet, and while it is just…

I recall reading that these models *were* used in the game but only in select cut scenes where they needed to do close ups; that they had a number of different versions of the characters that they swapped out depending on what the system could handle in any given cut scene. Camera is far away? Lowest poly version.…

There are so many variables at play for the Mpemba effect to happen (difference in temperature between the hot and cold water, impurities, temperature of the cooling apparatus, container size, shape, and material) and the speed-to-freeze difference is small enough that you’re probably no better off using hot water…

How about - moving your hard drives to the computer’s front bays for easy swapping and replacement? Costs very little and takes maybe 10 minutes. Saves lots of time if you need to troubleshoot drive issues or make archives.

Squirrels are everywhere. Moving one from one area to another isn’t likely to create a problem for anyone but the squirrel.

Agreed. Double or triple the estimated times on Blue Apron every single time. And we did close to 20 meals with them before canceling. Just not enough time.

City view is usually a euphemism in the hotel world that just means your window faces the windows of the building across the street. Just like how “garden view” is a euphemism for parking lot. Last year I stayed at a hotel where the “water view” was a view of a swamp, versus their “beach view” which was a view of part…

I suspect “slave wages” probably doesn’t mean what you think it means. It’s a pretty common term, though the meaning shifts a bit in certain political and civil justice circles. A historian will give you one definition while an Amnesty International volunteer will give another. Most people though will give you one in…

They should get the studio that does the MGS series. Those games are consistently high caliber in voice acting. But acting is just part of the realism. They gotta get the sound right with volume, reverb, etc for each scene. This is something the Shenmue games didn’t really do, so even if you had the Japanese audio, it…

There are others in this thread. Most of the AmazonBasics products I’ve bought have been great; the HDMI cables being the one exception.

Not really a deal since Amazon is selling at $170 and in the past (according to a review earlier this month) without the promo they sold for $120... so it's kind of a fake sale.

Everyone knows women are made of sand.

I think it's gorgeous, and if you found a way to keep it shiny and not rusting, I'd be tempted to do it myself.

It's beautiful but for how long? Don't these things rust really quickly? Can you treat it with something to prevent rusting in the long term?
